Toolify AI Tools Scraper

Collect AI tool and website listings from Toolify.ai—the directory of AI apps, websites, and tools. Each row includes the tool name, website URL, Toolify profile link, categories, traffic stats, and whether the listing is free or sponsored.

You do not need a Toolify account. The actor reads public list API results only.

Input

Configure these fields in the Apify Console Input tab before you click Start.

Field	Type	Required	Default	Description
List modes	multi-select	Yes	New	Pick one or more lists: New, Most saved, Most used, or Apps. Each mode is scraped separately.
Search keyword	text	No	(empty)	Optional. Runs an extra keyword search pass and filters the Apps list. Does not filter New, Most saved, or Most used rankings.
Max items per list mode	number	Yes	50	How many tools to save for each list mode (and for the keyword search pass when a keyword is set). Maximum is 500.
Proxy configuration	proxy	No	Residential on Apify	Apify residential proxy (on by default on Apify cloud).

List mode options

• New — recently added tools
• Most saved — tools users save most often
• Most used — tools with highest usage
• Apps — app listings (ordered by date added)

When you set a Search keyword, the actor also runs a site-wide keyword search (separate from the ranking lists).

Output

Results appear in the run Dataset tab—one row per tool per list mode (the same tool can appear in multiple modes).

Field	What you get
listMode	Which list this row came from (new, most_saved, most_used, apps, search)
rank	Position in that list (1 = first)
keyword	Your search keyword, if this row is from Apps (with keyword) or Search
totalInList	Total tools reported by Toolify for that list
toolId, name, handle	Tool identifiers
toolifyUrl	Link to the tool on Toolify.ai
website, websiteName	External product URL and display name
description, summary	Short descriptions from the listing
imageUrl, logoUrl	Cover image and logo URLs
collectedCount, monthVisitedCount	Save count and monthly visit estimate
isFree, isAd	Whether the tool is marked free or sponsored
categoryNames, categoryHandles	Comma-separated Toolify categories
trafficTopRegion, trafficTopRegionValue	Top traffic region and share, when available
scrapedAt	When this row was collected

Download as JSON, CSV, or Excel from the dataset, or use the Apify API and integrations.

Pricing Structure

Pay per usage — you are charged for compute units (CPU, memory, runtime) consumed during the run. If the actor falls back to a browser session to pass Cloudflare, runs may use more resources than a plain API call. Set a spending limit on the run before you start if you are testing.

Examples

Example 1: Latest tools

Input:

{
  "listModes": ["new"],
  "keyword": "",
  "maxItemsPerMode": 25
}

Output: Up to 25 rows from the New list.

Example 2: Compare rankings

Input:

{
  "listModes": ["new", "most_used"],
  "maxItemsPerMode": 50
}

Output: Up to 50 rows per mode (up to 100 total). The same tool may appear twice with different listMode and rank.

Example 3: Search “video” and apps

Input:

{
  "listModes": ["apps"],
  "keyword": "video",
  "maxItemsPerMode": 30
}

Output: Up to 30 apps matching “video”, plus up to 30 rows from the keyword search pass.

Best Practices

1. Start small — use maxItemsPerMode of 10–25 while testing; each mode adds more rows and runtime.
2. Keyword scope — keywords filter Apps and the search pass only; use Search output (listMode: search) for keyword discovery, not ranking lists.
3. Multi-mode runs — selecting four modes with maxItemsPerMode: 500 can produce up to 2,000 rows; watch dataset size and cost.
4. Sponsored listings — isAd: true rows are included by default; filter them in your export if you want organic-only lists.
5. Cloudflare — Toolify may block plain API requests; the actor automatically retries with a headless browser when needed (uses proxy when configured).
6. Residential proxy — leave proxy enabled on Apify cloud if you see empty results or blocks.

Limitations

• List-only data (no full Toolify profile page scrape).
• Keyword search totals on Toolify may cap below your maxItemsPerMode for broad terms.
• Ranking lists (New, Most saved, Most used) ignore the keyword filter by design.
